As not all Italian is the same
The language of Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio.
Swiss Italian is spoken by the people in the canton of Ticino and in certain places in the canton of Graubünden, i.e. the four southern valleys (Misox, Calancatal, Bergell and Puschlav) and the municipality of Bivio (around 8.4 percent of the population). Italian is the official language of the places mentioned.
Swiss Italian is a variety of the Italian language that differs from it in several ways and has its own distinctive features in terms of vocabulary, word formation, morphology, syntax and spelling. Our Italian language team obviously knows all these specific characteristics inside out.
